Hey guys! Im back and with a new chapter of Through Casey's Eyes. Im sorry it's been awhile, but I was really busy with school, studying for my permit, and dad got a promotion for his job! Congrats pops! Im sorry if the story seems rushed or not having all the character in it so far (but they will all get there don't worry) I'm gonna put some flashbacks in for Casey to improve his background (like this chapter), and I might do the same to the main characters and OC's as well.
Anyways here you go.
Chapter 12:
Month Later
The prison library was filled with all sorts of books, which makes me happy since I like to read. But I wasn't reading any books, I was trying to write my own. When I was a little kid, I always wanted to make my own book, so I wrote a lot of short stories, but I haven't done that in awhile due to me playing video games and school ect. But now that the apocalypse has started, I feel like I can get back into my old habit. Problem was my mind was blank.
It has now been over a month staying at the prison and things are going pretty well for me so far. I got a lot better and more healthier now that I have some food in me, Yuki arriving on the day after I showed up here, although she didn't take Emma's death very well... Then again neither did I... Yuki needed to have some time alone for a few days, but she's doing a lot better now. Wherever Rachel is right now, I hope she's doing alright.
Besides Yuki, Beth and I are best friends, same with Carl. There are other kids my age I met around here, but we only talked for a little bit. They seemed like nice people though. Zach and I tend to hang out for a bit, and he thinks we're pals, but I don't see it the same way. I mean he's a good guy, but he's known for being arrogant and cocky and a little rude, not to mention he can talk your ear right off. Not to mention he and Beth broke up not to long ago. Beth didn't look sad or anything over it, but she did say that she was glad she was with him while it lasted. Zach on the other hand did not take it all that well.
That happened before at my high school.
I sighed that I wasn't thinking of anything to write about, so I placed my pencil and notebook aside, and got to my feet walking out of the library.
Maybe some fresh air will do me some good.
I exited the library and into a dimly lit hallway where I saw Beth holding a baby Judith in her arms. Beth gave a warm smile and Judith started babbling. I smiled and gave them a wave.
"You guys coming coming in for story time?" I asked.
Beth nodded. "Yeah, she loves story time."
"Yiyan! Yiyan!" Judith gurgled cheerfully.
Beth let out a giggle. "You wanna join us?"
I shrugged. "Sure why not?"
I opened the door for the girls with me following them back into the library. Beth handed Judith over to me while she went to get a book to read to Judith. She returned with a classic that I loved when I was little called "Where the Wild Things are" and we all sat down on the floor with Judith sitting on my lap.
It felt good to hear Beth read a classic that I enjoyed when I was a little kid. We both did impersonations of the characters with Beth being Max, and me being the monsters, resulting in baby Judith laughing her little butt off and making monster noises with me.
After the story ended Judith looked like she was getting tired, so Beth scooped her up in her arms and we both exited the library and into the Cellblock area with a sleeping Judith in her arms.
"That was fun." I said.
Beth smiled. "Yeah it was, wild thing."
I chuckled. "Sure thing, Max."
Beth rolled her eyes at me still grinning.
"But seriously, it was good to hang out with you guys. It was getting boring in there."
"What were you doing in the library before we showed up?" She asked.
"I dunno... Trying to write something I guess like a mini story, but my mind was blank."
"That sounds like fun." Beth said.
"Yeah, I always wanted to be an actor though. I like being in a play on stage." I told her. "What about you? What did you want to be?"
Beth beamed. "I wanted to be a singer, I got it from my mom I guess. I won first place at my 3rd grade talent show for my singing."
"Whadya sing?"
"Parting Glass." She answered.
I grinned. "I remember you singing that song a while back. You were amazing."
Saying made her cheeks go red. Did I make her blush?
"Aww thank you. You're sweet guy Casey."
Her saying that now made me blush.
Ahh crap... This is embarassing... Hope she's not noticing...
"Wanna go outside?" I asked.
"Sure thing."
And with that, we got off the stairs and made our way outside to a bright sunshine and a lot of people hanging out, doing some jobs, children playing or helping out, or just eating by the cafeteria where Carol and Daryl were serving food.
We felt like getting something to eat, so Carol served us some chicken sandwiches that I gobbled up in seconds, which made Beth and Carol give me wide eyes and a snicker from Daryl.
"You are ridiculous." Beth laughed.
"What? It's a good sandwich!" I said.
Not the best chapter but Im glad it's outta the way. Gonna fast forward another month to make it more entertaining, but before that happens planning to do something exciting...
Next time on the Walking dead
"No... No..." I whispered in horror. I rushed towards his side, and rolled him over on his back putting my ear to his chest hoping to hear a heartbeat. There was one and some shallow breathing, but his lower chest was covered in blood so I pulled his shirt up revealing the nasty wound and I took my shirt off putting pressure on it.
"Hang in there, Hershel! Come on, hang in there!"
"You think you're all tough and powerful, but I know the truth." I spat at Cyclops (The Governor). "You are ignorant and stupid. YOU killed your town. YOU burned bridges. YOU are nothing, you psychotic one eyed fuck!"
Cyclops's face was one with shock and rage. He grabbed my face. "You think you know me? Do you?!"
I chuckled. "No and I don't wanna know you, vy sukin syn!"
Trivia question: What does Blyat and vy sukin syn mean?
Cya guys!
DeltaSandman out :)
